Mega Success

The kid’s mega tournament went beautifully.  There were smiles, good sportsmanship and quality competition from all participants.

1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners of forms and sparring were awarded medals while grappling was run as an “expo” event.  Next tournament we’ll shoot for a double elimination grappling bracket as well.

The truly impressive news?  We got through forms, sparring and grappling all in under three hours.  There are very few tournaments that can boast that kind of efficiency while still having all the participants and judges walking away with smiles on their faces.

Check out all the awesome action photos that Jean took here and more from AKF’s photostream here.  Thanks to all the participants, judges, helpers and families for making this happen.  Thanks to Jason for covering adult Kung Fu over at WAKF in my absence.  We hope to everyone again next time!
